High School Biology › Understanding Protein Folding
Ribosomes are involved in what level of protein folding?
In protein folding, secondary structures refer to which of the following?
Bob, a biologist who was researching a new eukaryotic unicellular species, wanted to study a particular protein Y. After obtaining and purifying the sample, Bob discovered that this protein had 3 subunits: A, B, and C. Through substantive scientific analysis, Bob discovered that protein Y operated in a membrane; however, he could not deduce which particular membrane. Nonetheless, Bob found that only subunit B was traversed through the interior of the membrane. With Bob’s findings, please answer the following questions.
What is the highest order of protein structure exhibited by Bob’s protein?
Which of the following types of amino acids would most likely be found in the center of eukaryotic globular proteins?
Val-Gly-Ser-Leu is an example of which level of protein structure?
What must be true for a protein to have quaternary structure?
In which level of protein structure will you find alpha-helices and beta-sheets?
Hemoglobin is a oxygen-carrying protein present in red blood cells. Its structure is that of four subunits—two alpha units and two beta units. What level of structure is implicated in this description?
You closely analyze the disulfide bridges in a protein molecule. In which phase of protein synthesis/structure would you first find these disulfide bridges?
Which of the following correctly describes the tertiary stucture of a protein?
